Wouldn't you be too if you were in time-out while the other boys got to go outside and play?

I was going to change it to "by three guys in puffy suits." but I spent more time on it than I should admit to already.

Hmm, perhaps "Walking on the Moon: a literally unbelievable truth" would be a nice title. It deals with the subject matter in a good and direct way, and doesn't lose itself in funniness like most members here (myself included).

I've thought about it some more. Using the criteria of
- interesting name/s in sci-fi - cut to the chase - but cover a few angles And the result was... "Apollo Denial - Kubrick, Van Allen and other Moon Shadows" States the subject clearly, uses a name that immediately grabs sci-fi enthusiast's attention, adds in an obvious Science bent, and even interests those who like Cat Stevens/classy music from that era. (OK, so Moon Shadow was '71. Who's counting..?) I expect copious remuneration if you use that, of course... ![]() |

It's also one word, but who's counting?

There is no such thing as way to big, slang
![]() ETA: It is not way to big. With all the points that are thrown out by the HB crowd, I think the box is way to small ![]()

If I may submit and paraphrase a Shakespeare themed title:

Hey, ToSeek...
I reckon the least you should do after all this invaluable (cough) assistance we have provided, is to: - tell us what you end up using - provide a copy of your speech notes; perhaps even the Powerpoint handouts (if they exist) in pdf form - some notable HB's need to practice their copying skills*... * - That's a very poor in-joke.. for which I apologise already. Sorta. |
